Memory leak while Compiling

[AndreiTC]

We have a report containing 10-20 dynamic pdf pages which change very often.
Every time we call RazorEngine.Compile there are 25x*(10 or 20, number of pages)MB of memory which is not deallocated.
Are you aware of such issues? And if how can we mitigate it?

What we basically do is :

private IRazorEngineCompiledTemplate<TemplateBase> CompileTemplate(Type baseViewModelType, string templateContent)
{
return engine.Compile<TemplateBase>(templateContent, ConfigureEngine);

        void ConfigureEngine(IRazorEngineCompilationOptionsBuilder b)
        {
            b.AddAssemblyReference(baseViewModelType);
            b.AddAssemblyReference(typeof(ColorTranslator));
    
            TryAddAssemblyReferenceByName(b, "System.Collections, Version=4.1.2.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a");
            TryAddAssemblyReferenceByName(b, "System.Resources.ResourceManager, Version=4.1.2.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a");
        }

        static void TryAddAssemblyReferenceByName(IRazorEngineCompilationOptionsBuilder b, string assemblyName)
        {
            try
            {
                b.AddAssemblyReferenceByName(assemblyName);
            }
            catch
            {
                // if the assembly fails to load that's fine, it just means that the
                // app didn't depend on it (e.g. because it was still .NET 4.7.2)
            }
        }
    }

Hi, have a look at latest gitter conversation: https://gitter.im/RazorEngineCore/community?utm_source=badge&utm_medium=badge&utm_content=badge

Can you reproduce this problem in console app?
In short, you are not supposed to compile templates over and over, and rather use caching.
